What a delightful article! This wuff has never experienced elsewhere the variety and complexity of spices and flavors as he has with Indian (and related) foods! One does need to be cautious of the heat involved in some of the dishes, especially if coming from a more "subdued" background and not acclimating one's pallet and taste buds to the potential "fire" involved. *grins* But there are plenty of opportunities to experience the joys of this cuisine without taking on the hotter dishes.

Now wuffy wants Indian something for supper! *big grin*

From Chris:

I've done a few Indian dishes myself, but I'd love to see your take!

Strongly considering trying a Saag Paneer. Probably won't go so far as to make the paneer fresh at home, but this wuff suspects that a Mexican Queso Fresco should be quite close to the Indian Paneer. The process for making the two is nearly identical. And we happen to have lots of the former in the markets here.

Since Vrghr and his roomie are both quite the fans of Spinach, Saag ought to go over really well! Perhaps wuff will do a Kheema Matar and some rice with that. That ought to be a nice combination for a supper!

It would be interesting to have Food challenges. Like pick a theme (Indian, Chinese, Mexican) and see people get creative.

From Chris:

Not a bad idea :3

The better question is, is there an Indian dish that YOU would like to try :B

I have no idea. I might have to do some research on this.

Go for it!

i have a mighty need for saag paneer. There's no Indian food near me for miiiiiillllles ;;

I miss real Indian food, my friend Devi and her husband would have me visit and she was a marvellous cook. I hope they are doing well, I miss them. I lived in New Zealand at the time and moved back to Australia, then lost touch. ah well it happens. *hugs*

*hugs*

Nice article, I didn't realize so many flavors commonly referred to as "Indian" came from elsewhere.

Since this wuffy's Saag Paneer and Keema Matar both turned out so tastily, Vrghr is more confident to try other Indian dishes now. Might give Chicken Makhani (Butter Chicken) a try next! It sounds VERY yummy!

*hugs*

We look forward to it!
